Ratings and reviews

The concept is good and, when I can find a sitter, it's great! The problem is that the availability thing doesn't work very well. The app will let me send a request to someone for the morning who is available only in afternoons. It would be so much easier for me to find someone if matches by available time windows was a thing

These guys are lucky that they're basically the only game in town. The app's unintuitive and buggy interface is well-documented in other reviews. As a pet owner, it works well enough for what it is... But if you encounter any form of trouble, things fall apart. The only solve they offer is contacting customer service, which often has a language barrier and can't offer any support other than helping you find another Rover (which isn't much use if the issue is urgent).

Edit: Thanks for the response but it doesn't resolve previously stated issues. Clients believe they are paying me X per hour when in actuality they are paying me 0.8X per hour. A good business documents & itemizes their charges. I'm requesting that it shows my rates separate and you show a 20% charge to my actual rate so clients know what they are paying for. I don't want to play this game of adjusting my rates to compensate for your hidden fees. Also drop-in cards are always crashing..
